“Romeny is helped by the 20 to 25% of ignoramuses who vote for him.”
And, of course, Romney is also helped by conservatives staying the primaries when they have no chance.
For example, if either Perry or Bachman had quit before Iowa, we’d be looking at a CLEAR Santorum victory, rather than a Romney victory. Now, I don’t blame either of them for staying through Iowa, but it’s starting to get old now. If Perry can’t win in South Carolina, of all places, he simply has NO BUSINESS still running - unless he’s got some kind of deal set up with Romney - it’s the only thing that makes sense if Perry goes to Florida, after winning less than 10% of the SC vote.
Frankly, I am less than excited about a Santorum victory.
As far as I am concerned he is little better than Romeny, and in fact it has been reported from the evangelical summit that they voted for Santorum to keep him in the race as a wingman for Romney and as a trump card to leverage Romney to offer the YP slot to Santorum.
Talk about cynicism.
I assume that you are also calling for the zero traction Jon Huntsman to drop out. Can you confirm?
Or is it just Rick Perry you are worried about?
